About Me

Using a needle and thread for self-expression, I
work to create art that reflects my interest in the concept of time.Memory, universal mortality, and personal
legacy are central themes.Vintage and
recycled materials are combined with meticulous handwork. Stitched text and
free motion machine embroidery add visual and emotional layers. Work is often
exhibited in an installation format in order to better communicate message
through an accessible atmosphere.I am drawn
to textiles for their tactile qualities and often make work that is meant to
touch and be touched.

The Reception, Part 1

For a reception that was supposed to be low-key, just a picnic, nothing fancy, totally casual...Wanda and Reinhard's reception was absolutely wonderful! Debbie made the best cake. Linda brought bratwurst and sauerkraut. Sonya furnished decorations. Steve and I provided a matted picture on which all the guests could sign their best wishes. It look planned for months!(All the images can be clicked for a closer view!)

Below is Lulu...the "flower dog"...simply exhausted from all the wedding activities!

Dad and I love the pictures of our neighbors. Two more were added this week - the world gets smaller as our neighbors increase. Your Dad saiys they are all dying to meet us. Susan, all your pictures are so insightful. never what others would take but always wonderful.
